Hi all,
Yes, I know the topic has been talked about before, but that was regarding the small plasma ball and the crackle tube...
Here's something I just found on evilbay and just wanted to give you guys a heads up.
I'm going to try to incorporate this into a future build (as a crystal chamber power source), since this form factor seems to be a little more up our alley, so to speak...
I present to you a Pilot 5" plasma tube...
box
dissected item
and a small movie of it in action
Anyhow, just thought you guys might find this interesting.
As far as I can tell, the unit comes with fifteen 1.5V coin batteries all wired in series (22.5V?!??) Going to have to do a little more testing since this is *supposed* to be able to run off of the 12V car battery...

(sorry I know the pics are a tad big)
Oh and dimensions of the tube are something like 5 inches long x maybe 1/2 inch diameter?
